Reduce Cost of Major Expedition Skills

Just what the title says. If Major Expedition buff durations are getting so drastically reduced, the cost of the skills that grant it should be reduced. The skills offer less value and the cost should reflect that. What do y’all think?

    I'd rather pay good money (or magica) for something desirable than cheap money for something useless.

    A buff duration of four seconds just sucks, no matter the cost.

    You're still getting better uptime than stamina users now.

    And what do I have to do? Equip a bow and dodge roll every 4 seconds? Do you know how weak bow is? spam blade cloak every 4 seconds? Do you realize how dumb this sounds?

    How is spamming a different skill for lousy 4s of Major Expedition any better? The speed nerfs hurt magicka and stamina equally.

    Cost reduction is not the answer, and would indirectly make some skills stronger in the wrong ways. Increase the duration of the Major Expedition these skills grant. 8-12 seconds I think is a fair duration, in that it lines up with a few shorter duration buffs.

    I mean... that'd be nice but that ship has kind of sailed already.

    So basically, no Murkmire? Or the opposite of Murkmire...that’d be nice.

    Well, speed pots would still remain nerfed. Just, you'll actually have viable alternatives now, that still require commitment to maintain, as per Zenimax's dev comments.

    Of course I realize that, it's exactly my point. I'm not arguing stamina vs magica, I'm arguing players vs ZOS.
